mine is still fine a week on

passed mot no probs.. still only using handbrake when I have too, so as not to keep the actuators always in 'on' position for extended periods..
working well

Until they stick on the next time you are on an incline and you pull away without noticing and cook your disks and pads..... only way is a rebuild or new calipers, it will haunt you otherwise

a new car SF
this one has done me proud! 3 years, about 40K, and only cost £600 to start with.
and what a life, pulling old boats around, carrying wine, wood for the fire, and many trips to Europe and Somerset and Newcastle - all in all many happy memories
and I have learnt that one injector can cause cold start issues and easy start for 10 months and only cost £20 to fix

and averaging 45mpg I would wager..with my driving style

I was about to say my best car ever, a C5 HDi 110 .. but the v6 406 coupe and more so the V6 Xant hold a special place

(I am only saying all this as it feels -4C outside for the first time, after a very good year, and the idea of fixing any part of a car is just off the menu) !

With value like that I can almost hear the Scotsmen crying - they've been trumped by someone south of the border.

saying that I don't want to do anything to the car.. . I have an empty workshop and a strange desire for a project .. something impractical, and I have ebay open

this is a bad sign..

Build a decent replica Tardis.

It will either sell to a geek for a good profit or attract Billie Piper. Both might be considered wins.

You might attract Jenna Louise Coleman, and that would definitely be worth the effort.
